S371 : GPS configuration
The way in which the GPS module is configured is completely independent from the main firmware. Two functioning modes are available:
•
Permanent Mode
•
Periodic Mode
In permanent mode, the GPS is always active and will operate at maximum power (like the GPS in a car). This is the most efficient mode and
we would recommend using it when it is necessary to move the Field Test Device (example: if the device will be in a car), or if satellite visibility is
poor.
In periodic mode, the GPS will start for a period of 5 mins at maximum power before switching to periodic power. In this mode, the GPS will
become active for 30-40 seconds every 10 minutes. The rest of the time, it will be in rest mode, which will aid the device's independence. This
mode should be used for static use (fixed position, or very slow movement), or where satellite visibility is very good.
The user can also choose to reset the GPS once it is switched on. This operation will allow you to delete the GPS memory as well as all previous-
ly acquired information. This can be useful when the GPS is not able to synchronise itself while it is starting up. Essentially, the GPS will use its
internal memory to set a position and to locate satellites, but when the GPS has not been used for a long period of time or has travelled a great
distance (for example, if it has travelled on-board an aircraft to another country), the information will be inaccurate and must be deleted.
If the GPS coordinates are available during transmission of a sigfox frame, these coordinates will be included in the payload. Otherwise the
corresponding bytes will be deleted, rendering the payload shorter.
S382 : Communication Mode
The communication mode allows to modify the device comportement in front of the network.
•
Monodirectional mode: the devide transmit a frame to the network and can't receive a downlink frame.
•
Bidirectional mode: the device transmit a frame to the network and open a reception window which allows the network to transmit a
frame to the device, but also to transmit acknowledgment frames.
S385 : Custom Payload
This option allows the product to issue a custom frame instead of the predefined payload of the product.
The user can configure the size of his payload and the text to send.
When the value of the register is 0, the function is inactive and the product uses the format of the standard payload.
when the value contains a value, the product sends the characters contained in registers S386 to S388.
The maximum size allowed for this payload is 12 bytes
S386 à S388 : Custom Payload
The 4 registers allow to configure a personal payload:
•
The register S386 makes it possible to define the bytes 1 to 4 of the frame
•
The register S387 makes it possible to define the bytes 5 to 8 of the frame
•
The register S388 makes it possible to define the bytes 9 to 12 of the frame
The values must be registered in hexadecimal code: exempt for the word «TEST» -> ATS386 = 54455654
